filtering of characters in Editor Text Area field

Upon saving, characters in fields (type "Editor Text Area") are converted to "?". For example, the word "Politička" becomes "Politi?ka".

When I try the same thing in a Joomla article, this does not happen so I am suspecting there is some filtering going on in Community Builder. The database entry in the j25_comprofiler table shows "Politi?ka" as well so I suspect this is not just a display issue. Is there a setting somewhere to adjust filtering?

Community Builder: 2.0.8
Joomla 3.3.6
JCE Editor: 2.4.6

Most likely your CB related Joomla database tables are not set to the proper collation.

Everything (for multilanguage / non English) sites should be set to utf8_general_ci.

Search google for more help.

After making the change below to the column where the characters were needed (in the comprofiler table), the issue was resolved:

ALTER TABLE dbprefix_comprofiler MODIFY columnname mediumtext CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;

Thanks for the tip!
